12 Thou didst bestride the earth in fury,
    thou didst trample the nations in anger.
13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people,
    for the salvation of thy anointed.
Thou didst crush the head of the wicked,[a]
    laying him bare from thigh to neck.[b]
                Selah
14 Thou didst pierce with thy[c] shafts the head of his warriors,[d]
    who came like a whirlwind to scatter me,
    rejoicing as if to devour the poor in secret.
